Family Guy Offends Hollywood Jews



It's one of America most popular cartoon shows -- "Family Guy" has been a ratings block-buster for the Fox television network. But here in Los Angeles, its producers stand accused of angering the city's Jewish residents, in the programme's eagerness to win an Emmy. In a bid to secure support for the cartoon to be named "Outstanding Comedy" at this year's award, Family Guy producers sent mailers to residents in the Los Angeles neighbourhood of Brentwood, where many members of the Academy live, and many of them happen to be Jewish. "Come on you bloated, over-privileged Brentwood Jews" reads the mailer. "Let us into your little club".

I Remember Me (2001)



I REMEMBER ME is an informative and moving documentary about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Filmmaker Kim Snyder chronicles her own painful struggle with the condition, profiles other sufferers, and researches overlooked past outbreaks of what came to be known as "Yuppie Flu." Snyder interviews a wide range of medical professionals, who have wildly varying theories about the condition. With such confusion about what the condition actually is, and little evidence as to what causes it, Snyder shows how the medical establishment, particularly the CDC, has viewed the condition skeptically and investigated it halfheartedly, allowing people with CFS to become stigmatized as hypochondriacs. Through her interviews and profiles of sufferers--particularly one high school student who has been paralyzed by CFS--she shows just how debilitating and painful CFS can be. She also explores a little-known outbreak, which took place in Florida decades before the syndrome was recognized, and interviews survivors and doctors from those cases. Snyder also interviews director Blake Edwards (THE PINK PANTHER) and soccer star and Olympic gold medalist Michelle Akers, who describe how their happy lives and successful careers were nearly destroyed by CFS.

"Zionist" Control of the Media





A River of Waste: The Hazardous Truth About Factory Farms



A heart-stopping new documentary, A RIVER OF WASTE exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in our modern industrial system of meat and poultry production. Some scientists have gone so far as to call the condemned current factory farm practices as "mini Chernobyls." In the U.S. and elsewhere, the meat and poultry industry is dominated by dangerous uses of arsenic, antibiotics, growth hormones and by the dumping of massive amounts of sewage in fragile waterways and environments. The film documents the vast catastrophic impact on the environment and public health as well as focuses on the individual lives damaged and destroyed.



Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People



This groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged from the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, the film explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs--from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding "terrorists"--along the way offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images, their development at key points in US history, and why they matter so much today. Shaheen shows how the persistence of these images over time has served to naturalize prejudicial attitudes toward Arabs and Arab culture, in the process reinforcing a narrow view of individual Arabs and the effects of specific US domestic and international policies on their lives. By inspiring critical thinking about the social, political, and basic human consequences of leaving these Hollywood caricatures unexamined, the film challenges viewers to recognize the urgent need for counter-narratives that do justice to the diversity and humanity of Arab people and the reality and richness of Arab history and culture.



Silent Forest: Genetically Engineered Trees



The film details the dangerous impacts of genetically engineered trees on human health, native forests, forest-dwelling indigenous peoples and wildlife. Narrated by Dr. David Suzuki.

Garbage Warrior (2007)




 
What do beer cans, car tires and water bottles have in common? Not much unless you're renegade architect Michael Reynolds, in which case they are tools of choice for producing thermal mass and energy-independent housing. For 30 years New Mexico-based Reynolds and his green disciples have devoted their time to advancing the art of "Earthship Biotecture" by building self-sufficient, off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in eco-harmony. However, these experimental structures that defy state standards create conflict between Reynolds and the authorities, who are backed by big business.
 
Frustrated by antiquated legislation, Reynolds lobbies for the right to create a sustainable living test site. While politicians hum and ha, Mother Nature strikes, leaving communities devastated by tsunamis and hurricanes. Reynolds and his crew seize the opportunity to lend their pioneering skills to those who need it most. Shot over three years and in four countries, Garbage Warrior is a timely portrait of a determined visionary, a hero of the 21st century.
